Thursdays Steamship Collision.

Collisions at sea are not unusual or unex-
pected, but it is rather remarkable that
two great steamers of the same line, going
in opposite directions, should pursue the
same route of travel so closely as to strike
each other. II the Britannia had not re-
sponded promptly to her helm she and the
Celtic it is believed, would have had stem
to-stem collision, and both, in all probable
ity, would have gone to the bottom with all
on board They were running in dense
fog, and neither was seen by the other until
it was too late for either to change her
course sufficiently to avoid "A collision.
The routes of steamers to and from
Europe is called the lane route, for the
reason that it is a rather narrow one. 1t
might be wise thing to do to widen it a
little, although if that were done a disabled
steamer would not stand as good chance
of being discovered as at present -Four
steamers approached the disabled Celtic
and Britannia very soon after they colllded.
1t is a source Of satisfaction that the COM
partments of both steamers were in good
order. If they had not been the Britannia
would have sunk very quickly, and it might
not have been possible to save the Celtic.
The Oregon, which was lost OFF the New
Jersey coast, would have been saYed had her
compartments been closed.
The discipline on both of the injured YES
sells was, from all accounts, main
tanned A few firemen from the Britain
mic got away with a couple of the ships
lifeboats, notwithstanding the Captains
threat to shoot them. The firemen of a
great ocean steamer are not, as q rule, the
sort of men to act the part of heroes in time
of danger Nobody cares much for them,
and it is but natural that they shouldn't
care much for anybody.
There does not appear to have been
enough life preservers on the Britannia, and
it is probable that there would not have
been boats enough if the occasion had been
one which required the accommodation of
all the passengers and crew at once.
Improvements in steam vessels keep pace
with the increase of ocean travel and by
far the greatest, if not the only real danger
now in making the trip between this coun-
try and Europe is that of collision. But
after all how small is the number of those
lost in proportion to the number carried safe
ly. The number of passengers carried yearly
between the two countries, exclusive of emf
grants, is over 10000 1t is impossible to
wholly overcome the danger due to fogs, and
as there will be fogs as long as there is a guilt
stream, those who cross the North Atlantic
in the great steamers must expect to run
| the risk of collision.

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for purity and

that of a pure stimulant, with none of the
inebriating effects which are too often found
in so-called medicinal whiskeys."

The sense OF sight generally weakens
in the process of dying. a medical
friend OF mine said to his wife: "Set
that lamp up closer to me; the room
seems to be growing dark" Such

learned principal of the Edinburgh
High School, who fancied himself to be

gun-shot wound is apt to numb the
sensibiIities. When n bullet perces

can be no pain; probably our glori-
